List of Australia Test wicket-keepers (original) (raw)

Wicket-keepers plays an important role in test cricket and, over time, the role has evolved into a specialist position. In Test cricket, only 34 wicket-keepers have kept wicket in a match for Australia. Jack Blackham was the first and longest-serving wicket-keeper who kept wicket for Australia and is considered first of the modern great wicketkeepers. He played in thirty-five Test matches between 1877 and 1894 for Australia against England in which he caught 36 catches and stumped 24. He was also the first wicket-keeper captain of the Australian cricket team.
